Im in Missouri and have never sailed a boat in my
entire life.

Im 46 years old. Some close friends just sold most
everything and took off into the Caribbean to take a
year off a "see the world".

This adventure they are taking intrigues me.

Id like some info on how one prepares for such a thing.
I don't mean how one prepares in terms of boats and
actual sailing...... but instead how you prepared in
your regular life such as:

(1) Financially. Did you keep your home bank acct or
are ther special ones for sailors on the move. Where
did you have regular mail sent?

Did you move all investments to safe ones such as
mutual funds? Or did you keep money in stocks and
equities and just not worry abt them while gone?

(2) Possessions. Did you see EVRYTHING you owned when
land lubbers? Or did you sell the bulk of it and put
rest in storage and then have monthly storage bill?

Also.... did you try and buy possessions that are
portable and easily packed and moved?
